A piece of wire has been bent into a sine wave shape. This is a side view — a time domain graph of a sine wave from 0° to 360°.
The view is representing four dimensions rather than three — this is a 2D image of a 3D picture representing at least four dimensions.
In this picture, a 2nd sine-wave is far away, in what may be said to be a "fourth" dimension. It's too small to see.
A 3D universe has a hierarchy of dimensions associated with its 3D 's space.
In this diagram, the second sinewave wire has gone a long way away, possibly into dimensions barely associated with this 3D universe.
In this picture the second gold sinewave wire has returned from other dimensions to be full-size in 3D space.
Another analogy, using this illustration, is that the picture is 3437pixels wide, but on this page it's only 1280 pixels wide, because it's only allowed to be that big according to html rules.
If it has shrunk properly in the browser, save it an see how big it is.
The second gold wire, sine-wave shaped, came back from having gone away in 4D. It's in the same 3D space as when it was far away in 4D; but it has swapped one of the 3D co-ordinates, so it is showing only slightly (in perspective because of its thickness) because it is 90° related to the other wire's shape.
In this picture both gold wires have equal presence in 3D space.
Notice they seem to share the same space when they cross zero: this is to illustrate that everything has presence in other dimensions additional to the usual three. In this theory, for exclusion force field pieces, only one piece can occupy the same place at the same time as another. All pieces themselves happen by smaller patterns within patterns moving in three and more dimensions so no one occupies the same 3D space at the same time.
Bits of force-field can swap places, in 3D space and multi-dimensionally, infinitely quickly.
Inside the sine-wave shapes here, their smaller parts are organized in fractal patterns. These patterns get smaller; until only single pairs of concentric oscillating (coming-going) spheres occupy the same places in space (but not at the same times). The pairs alternate, instantly, quickly enough to equal one whole unit of incompressible force-field, in their spots in 3D space.
Even single bits of force field, oscillating as concentric spheres, have, in the harmonics of their simple circular patterns, the details of the whole of Creation.
Creation is infinite in both directions. Creation is infinitely large; and no matter what level of smallness can be considered smallest, there is always something smaller.
Patterns in space range from single miniscule pieces of force field that move multi-dimensionally, up to complex patterns with cyclic harmonic relationships in the same 3D space. Small bits tend to instantaneous swap positions, to occupancy a spot in space; more complex patterns have complex 3D movements and cycles.

The working principle of pitot tubes for measurement of volumetric flow
What is a pitot tube?
The pitot tube flow meter working principle
Different types of pitot tubes
In this post, we will take a closer look at the pitot tube flow meter. We will discuss the different pitot tube types and look for the underlying principles that ensure that the pitot tube does what it should do, that is to measure the flow velocity.
But let's start from the beginning.
A pitot tube, named after the French engineer Henri Pitot, is the sensing element of a differential pressure measurement that is used to measure the flow velocity of liquids and gases, including steam.
Classical designs have an L-shaped double-walled tube with the open end facing upstream and eventually one or more holes in the outer tube wall behind the open end. The inner and outer tube walls are connected to each other at the front hole, while at the other end both tubes are available for connection to a differential pressure instrument.
More recent designs are made of a straight multi-chamber tube, perpendicular to the flow direction, with multiple holes in the front and the rear chamber of the tube. Both chambers come out separately at the top of the pitot tube for connection to the pressure instrument.
Original L-shaped pitot tube
More recent averaging pitot tube
The DP signal from the pitot tube can be measured by a differential pressure transmitter which then converts the signal to a flow velocity provided that the density of the fluid is known. By combining a pitot tube and a differential pressure transmitter, we get a pitot tube flow meter.
When the pitot tube is installed in a conduit with a known cross-sectional area, it becomes possible to calculate the volumetric flow by multiplying the measured flow velocity by the cross-sectional area.
Further multiplication of the volume flow by the density of the fluid gives us the mass flow rate.
Pitot tube flow meter animation
The drawing above is showing a classical pitot tube inserted into a conduit with the tube opening oriented against the flow.
If the fluid is not flowing, the pressure will be the same in the inner and outer tubes. This pressure is called static pressure.
As soon as the fluid starts to flow, a part of the fluid will enter the pitot tube through its front hole, but it has nowhere to go because the inner tube is closed at the back as it is connected to the pressure transmitter. So, once the tube has filled up, the fluid will come to a standstill (stagnation) inside the tube.
However, the fluid continues to flow through the conduit and the molecules build up kinetic energy. Because the fluid can no longer enter the pitot inner tube, all molecules will collide at the front hole. This brings them to a full stop and they lose their kinetic energy.
But energy is never lost. So, with every collision, the kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy.
The pressure built up at the tip of the pitot tube is called the stagnation pressure, sometimes also called the total pressure. It is the sum of the static pressure, equally distributed in all directions, and the dynamic pressure, caused by the conversion of the kinetic energy and effective in the flow direction only.
Stagnation pressure = static pressure + dynamic pressure
A number of small holes were drilled in the outer tube. Since these openings are perpendicular to the direction of flow, they are not influenced by the dynamic pressure. They are only subjected to static pressure.
We could say that the inner tube is sensing the stagnation pressure, while the outer tube is sensing the static pressure.
A pitot tube that measures both the stagnation and the static pressure is called a pitot-static tube or Prandtl tube. If the two tubes coming out of the pitot-static tube are connected to a differential pressure transmitter, as shown in de animation above, we can measure the dynamic pressure of the fluid flow.
Dynamic pressure = ΔP = Pstagnation – Pstatic
We will need the result of this measurement to calculate the flow velocity of the fluid.
To find the formula for the calculation of the flow velocity, we have to start from the basic principle, the Bernoulli equation:
P1 + 1 2 ρV12 = P2 + 1 2 ρV22
Those who are not familiar with this formula should read the article about the Bernoulli principle first, as that will explain how we arrive at this formula.
In the above equation, the potential energy terms (ρgh) have already been canceled because we are assuming a horizontal flow.
The velocity V2 at the front hole of the pitot tube is stagnated. This means that V2 is equal to zero, and we can delete the full term 1 2 ρV22.
This simplifies the equation to:
P2 – P1 = ΔP = 1 2 ρV12
Solving for V1 gives us the flow velocity in the conduit:
V1 = √ 2ΔP ρ
Where: V1 = velocity of the fluid
ΔP = the measurement value of the pressure transmitter
ρ = density of the fluid
With the velocity of the fluid now known, we can obtain the volumetric flow rate by multiplying the velocity by the cross-sectional area of the conduit.
Qv = A1V1 = Π 4 D2 √ 2ΔP ρ
Where: Qv = volumetric flow rate
A1 = cross-sectional area
D = diameter of the conduit
Even the mass flow rate can now be calculated if we multiply the volumetric flow rate by the density of the fluid.
Qm = ρQv = ρ Π 4 D2 √ 2ΔP ρ
Where: Qm = mass flow rate
Or, if you don't want a fraction under the square root:
Qm = Π 4 D2√ 2ΔPρ
The density of the fluid can be obtained as follows:
When the pressure and the temperature of the fluid are constant, the density can be found in a density table for that specific fluid. That value can then be programmed into the control system.
When the temperature and the pressure change continuously, these need to be measured and their measured value sent to the control system. The density table for that specific fluid must then be programmed into the control system so that the system can select the density value that corresponds to the pressure and temperature it has received.
It has to be said that to arrive at these formulas, we had to make the following assumptions:
The fluid we are measuring is incompressible
There are no dissipative forces (heat loss, friction)
The fluid is non-viscous
The flow is steady laminar
L-type pitot tube
This is a basic pitot-static tube like the one I used for the animation above. It has the typical L-shape consisting of the head, which has to be aligned with the fluid flow, and the stem which passes through the wall of a conduit. The length of the head is generally between 15 and 25 times the head diameter.
The tip of the head has a front hole that is connected to a smaller tube that runs inside the head and stem and comes out the other side parallel to the stem. This inner tube transfers the total pressure registered by the front hole.
The tip of the L-type pitot tube can be designed in 3 different ways:
a spherical shaped tip (AMCA type)
an ellipsoidal shaped tip (NPL type)
a conical shaped tip (CETIAT type)
Different tip shapes of the L-type pitot tube
Eight static pressure holes are drilled around the circumference of the head at a distance of 6 to 8 times the head diameter from the tip. The static pressure is transferred through the outer tube and comes out at a branch perpendicular to the stem. This branch also serves as an alignment arm to facilitate head alignment since the visibility of the head is obstructed by the conduit wall.
A standard pitot tube provides acceptable gas velocity measurements as long as the tube direction does not deviate more than 15° from the flow direction. When the deviation exceeds 15°, the dynamic pressure reading decreases rapidly.
S-type pitot tube
The probe is inserted into the conduit with its total pressure hole upstream, facing the flow, and its static pressure hole downstream pointing in the direction of the flow. The faces of both openings must be perpendicular to the flow.
The large openings of typically 4 – 10 mm permit the S-type probe to be used in gases containing dust or fine droplets. The large holes are not easily plugged and therefore these types of pitot tubes are often used for flow measurement in emission stacks.
Because the total pressure hole is obstructing the flow to the static pressure hole and given the size of these holes, the flow profile at the static pressure hole will be disturbed.
As a result :
The measured static pressure will be lower than the real static pressure. To compensate for this difference, the S-type pitot tube must be calibrated.
The measured differential pressure will be higher compared to the L-type pitot tube, which is beneficial in low-velocity gas flow applications.
Just like the L-type pitot tube, the S-pitot tube provides an acceptable measurement when the direction of the gas flow does not deviate more than 15° from the direction of the pitot tube.
Rotating the S-tube by 90°, so it stands perpendicular to the flow direction, leads to a measured differential pressure that equals zero.
This makes it possible to determine the flow direction of the gas and the tangential flow angle, by rotating the S-pitot tube until the measured differential pressure is zero.
The tangential flow angle is the angle between the flow direction of the gas and the axial direction of the conduit.
If the tangential flow angle is greater than 15°, then the velocity corrected for flow direction is given by:
vc = cosθmeasvmeas
Where: vc = velocity corrected for flow direction
cosθmeas = cosine of the tangential flow angle
vmeas = velocity measured at angle θmeas
3D pitot tube
A 3D pitot tube
Top and side view of a 3D pitot tube
This type of probe consists of 5 pressure taps in a spherical (or prism-shaped) sensor head. The pressure taps are numbered P1 to P5 in a fixed sequence.
Inside the pitot probe are five separate tubes connecting each pressure tap with the measuring device for evaluation of the measured pressure.
The temperature of the gas is measured by a thermocouple on the stem of the probe.
A 3D-probe is used in a particular case when stack gas has a flow profile with a significant yaw angle and pitch angle. In this case, the L- or S-probes would lose too much of their accuracy to perform a reliable measurement.
The 3D-probe can determine the yaw and pitch angle and the dynamic pressure by using its 5 pressure taps.
To find the yaw angle the probe is rotated around its axis until the differential pressure P2 – P3 equals zero. This operation is called yaw nulling. An inclinometer will then calculate the yaw angle and its value will be displayed on the console.
The differential pressure P4 – P5 is used to calculate the pitch angle using probe-specific calibration curves.
The differential pressure P1 – P2 is a function of total velocity.
From these values and a determination of the gas density, the average axial velocity of the gas is calculated.
The average gas volumetric flow rate can be found by multiplying the average axial velocity by the cross-sectional area of the conduit.
2D pitot tube with inclinometer and console
The 2D probe may look the same as the 3D probe (both can be prism-shaped) but has only 3 pressure taps, numbered P1, P2, and P3, at the same spot as the 3D probe.
Therefore, the 2D probe can only measure the velocity pressure and the yaw angle.
P1 – P2 determines the velocity pressure
P2 – P3 is used to find the yaw angle
From these measurements and the density of the gas, the average near-axial velocity of the gas is calculated.
Notice that a 2D probe only measures the near-axial velocity, since it ignores the pitch component of the flow.
Multiplying the near-axial velocity by the cross-sectional area of the pipe gives the average gas volumetric flow rate.
It is also possible to use a 3D as a 2D probe by operating the 3D probe in the yaw determination mode only.

What Kind of grammar is used? What punctuation style do the authors use?
Plot: The plot of this story is very complex. To most people around him, Matt is not a normal young boy but a freak that was born of a cow. He is forced to live in a room full of chicken litter and roaches are the only thing that can keep him company. Matt does not even get the simple things that normal children get. He only has old chicken bones for toys. But for El Patron, Matt is his life. Literally! El Patron loves Matt as he loves himself because Matt is himself. They have identical DNA. Matt struggles to understand his purpose in life and is always being controlled by people of higher power. If he were to escape the Alacran, he still would not be free. Matt is marked with something only he has, and it makes him stand out in ways he himself can not even imagine.
Characters: The House of the Scorpion is made up of characters with very powerful personalities. The main character is Matt. He is the clone of a powerful drug lord, El Patron. Matt is described as a skinny, very uncoordinated boy. He has writing on his foot that says "PROPERTY OF THE ALACRANS". Matt was to live as a normal human being until El Patrons organs would fail, then he was chosen to give him a transplant. Matt manages to escape fate that 8 other failed clones have faced. El Patron is a very very very powerful drug lord who ends up being the most powerful man in the world. He has lived for 148 years by harvesting organs from his clones and hopes that Matt can help him continue his legacy. He was said to sit in a wheelchair all day and looked like a raisin Celia is the one who ends up saving Matts life. She is his caregiver and Matts only mother figure. She is said to be a bit on the chunkier side but has a very fierce attitude. Another character who helps Matt escape is Maria. She is the daughter of a powerful senator named Mr.Mendoza. El Patron loved having powerful friends so he often invited Mr.Mendoza and his family to stay with him which gave Maria no choice but to say in the big house where Matt was. She is said to be the same age as Matt and is very beautiful but has a snotty attitude. Maria goes against her whole family to help Matt be free and run away from death. El Patron had assigned Matt a bodyguard whom also played a big part in the plan. His name was Tam Lin. All of El Patrons bodyguards were all criminals. Tam Lin was a Scottish nationalist who laid a bomb for the British Prime Minister that accidentally killed a bus full of 20 children instead. He showed Matt mountains that he could climb and gave him many supplies so that when the time comes for El Patron to take his organs, he can run away. These are the main characters who build the story.
Settings: This story takes place is Aztlán. It was once known as 'Mexico'. There are parts of Aztlán that are very rich like San Luis and other towns that are filled with poverty like Duragno. Durango is where El Patron and Celia came from. The story moves to Opium which is a strip of large poppy "farms," or plantations between the United States and Aztlán on a narrow strip of land. It is controlled over by drug lords (mostly El Patrón). Opium gets its name from the drugs there. There are also Farm Patrols there who are tended by "eejits,". Many illegal immigrants try to cross the mountains to reach Aztlán or the USA. If they were caught crossing the boarder, they were turned into eejits and would be forced to work in the field. After Matt attempts to cross the boarder, he ends up in a plankton factory. The plankton factory is near San Luis in Aztlán, in the desert left where the Gulf of California has dried up. It is ran by 'Keepers' who run the labor camp. This factory is where plankton is harvested as a food source for the world's growing population. When Matt escaped from the Farm Patrol, he was rescued by the Keepers. Then Matt is held at the factory by the Keepers after he is transferred there from the original camp along the border with Opium. After that, some of his fellow inmates beating and face psychological torture if they even think about questioning anyone or anything. At the plankton factory, there is a "bone-yard". It was a massive graveyard of skeletons of beached whales that have formed sinkholes, which lies near the factory. The story soon moves to San Luis where it concludes. It is a huge city with a huge population described as a fun place to be.
Conflict: The major conflict in The House of the Scorpion is that Matt always tries to fit in with everyone at the Big House. Even though he is smarter and more musically talented than anyone in the household, he doesn't get any respect because he is a clone. He is not a real human being. Matt is constantly reminded that he was not born like a normal child, but harvested and came out of a poor cow. This affects everything Matt does. He is treated poorly because he is a clone, he misses out on oppurtunies because he is a clone, and doesn't get to live his life as he wants to. Throughout the story, you can see how Matt longs to go out and play with children his age and even go to school. Matts entire life was based on the fact he was the clone. That is the biggest conflict in the story.
Theme: The universal meaning this story provides to me is that everyone is different and everyone experiences many different things. Even thought the story seems a bit confusing, it has a great meaning. You see Matt struggling to find himself thoughout the entire story. At the end of it all, he becomes the most powerful man in the world and got the girl of his dreams. It showed me that even if a whole country, literally, hates me, I can still prosper and become something great. A theme showed in is how friendship can be found in unexpected places. An example is the friendship if Matt and Maria. As soon as they laid eyes on each other, they connected because they were the same age and had many common interests. When Maria finds out Matt is a clone, she slowly backs away from their friendship because she was afraid. After thinking about it, she feels bad and returns to him. They soon begin to like each other, and even end up together at the end of the story. Another example of this theme is the friendship between Matt and Tam Lin. This is a weird one because Matt wanted to explore the world and was always crazy around Tam Lin. Tam Lin on the other hand, was a quiet man who rarely spoke and was a wanted criminal. Matt was really good in school yet Tam Lin could not read or write. Later on in the story, Tam Lin plays a huge part in saving Matts life. Another theme is this story is what it means to be a human and what makes a human. Tam Lin tells Matt something very special at the end of the story that supports this theme. He tells Matt that there is no difference between a clone and a human. This was tough for Matt to understand because all his life he was told that he was a beast and he was nothing. Literally, nothing! They would not even call him Matt, he was known as 'it'. Matt was not even allowed in church service because animals were not allowed. (Even though the Bible does say everything that has breath, praise the LORD). As the story goes on, Matt realizes that there is no difference between a clone and a human. There is differences in opinions, but no real difference between humans and clones.
Point of View/Style: The House of the Scorpion is told in the third person, but the narrator must be Matt's imaginary best friend. The style of this book is very imaginative because it is kind of a sci-fy story. It is filled with vivid descriptions that allow us to see the settings, characters, and events. That is very powerful in a story like this one because it is a made-up country and characters. I can use one of the most dramatic parts of the story: when Matt meets El Patron for the first time. Nancy Famer writes, "There was something so right about the way the old man looked. His eyes were a good color. Matt didn't know why it was good, only that it was. El Patrón's face seemed oddly familiar, and his hands – thin and blue-veined – had a shape that appealed to Matt in some deep way. " In those few sentences, you can see El Patrons blue veins and you can even feel the connection between them. I would say it is also very dramatic. The author on many different occasions has a character just blow up. The details of their anger only gets us more into the story.
The themes of your book make me interested in the storyline. In my opinion the more complex books are the ones that are more interesting. The conflict of the book seem to tie in with the theme, making the book have a more powerful meaning behind it.
This is an excellent literature analysis. Good job. Very thorough!
Plot: A young boy named Jody is about 10 years old and he has lived his whole life on his father's farm. Carl Tiflin, the father, gave Jody a small red pony and he decided to name it Gabilan. The next few days he treated his gift perfectly, brushing and training it. The exposition then leads into the rising action where Jody puts all of his trust in a man named Billy who works for his fathers farm. While he's at school he leaves Gabilan under the complete care of Billy. The climax begins when Billy leaves Gabilan out in the storm, which leads to him getting very sick. Billy attempts to cure the horse, but a few days later Jody finds Gabilan dead in the forest. While Jody is exploring he meets Gitano. Gitano claimed that he had lived on what is now the Tiflin's property long before them and it is where he wants to die. Within a few days he is gone, and it is reported that a neighbor had seen him heading toward the mountains with a sword, this makes Jody curious. Carl Tiflin and Billy decided to give Jody another chance to raise a colt, this time they breed a horse they own. It gets near the end of the horse's pregnancy and complications occur resulting in the death of the mother horse, Nellie. This is yet another example of death that Jody experiences. The falling action begins when Jody's Grandfather comes to visit. Throughout his time with Jody's family he repeats his old stories of exploration. Joys again becomes interested in the mountains and exploration. The resolution shows the passion he shares with his grandfather. Throughout the story he has a rough relationship with his father, but he learns that people can be wrong and they do show sympathy. Jody also learns that certain things come with a cost and that death and struggle is part of growing up.
Characterization: The main characters in the story are Jody Tiflin, Gabilan, Carl Tiflin, Mrs. Tiflin, Billy Buck, Gitano, Grandfather, Nellie and Easter. Jody is an adventurous 10 year old boy and he is also the only child of the family. Throughout the book his various experiences help him grow and accept life. Carl Tiflin is the father of Jody. Although the family is not well off, he does own a ranch where he cares for various horses. His stern character lacks empathy which makes their relationship difficult. Gabilan is a young red pony that Jody receives from his father. He is difficult to train and his death shows Jody what death and anger is. Mrs. Tiflin is Jody's mother and she is usually inside the house cooking and cleaning. Her passive character shows that she understands Jody's struggles. Billy Buck is a middle aged man who works for Carl on the farm, taking care of the horses. His character contrasts with Carl and throughout the story he helps Jody through his struggles. Gitano is a character that visits the Tiflin's house claiming he wants to die where he was born. His personality opens up curiosity within Jody. Grandfather is Mrs. Tiflin's father who visit's the farm occasionally. He tells stories about his traveling when he was younger, which makes an impact on Jody.
Setting: Throughout the story the setting is a ranch in Salinas, California. The Tiflin family owns the farm around the 1930's, which changes the morals and point of view of the characters. In the distance there are Mountains called the Gabilan Mountains which have always brought curiosity to Jody.
Conflict: Jody and his father always had the most conflict because of their opposing personalities. An example from the book that shows this would be "His father was a disciplinarian. Jody obeyed him in everything without questions of any kind" (p.3). Another conflict between characters is when Jody loses trust for Billy twice, once when he lets Gabilan die and another when the mare has to be killed. Billy also shows internal conflict with himself as he realizes that he let Jody down. Throughout the story Jody experiences more conflict, such as life versus death.
Theme: The theme of The Red Pony is that as Jody becomes older he realizes how things are different. He matures and starts to see that death happens with nature despite the things he wants. This theme is portrayed in the chapter "The Gift". The theme of death and life comes back in the next section "The Great Mountains" when the character Gitano comes home to die in peace. When he rides off toward the mountains Jody starts to understand. In "The Promise" Jody realizes that sometimes a life is taken for something else to live. This theme is shown when the mare dies while giving birth to the colt. In the last section Grandfather discusses all his stories, he tells Jody how the world is changing and that nothing stays the same forever. This wraps up the theme of life and maturing and how Jody still has so much to learn.
The Red Pony was written as third person omniscient. Throughout the story you can see each characters attitude not only through dialogue but through what theyre feeling. An example would be "He felt an uncertainty in the air, a feeling of change and of loss and of the gain of new and unfamiliar things" which shows exactly how Jody felt without him saying it directly.
Steinbeck showed sensitivity throughout his writing. The storyline was simple to understand if you knew how to put the pieces together from each chapter. Each paragraph separated main ideas and each chapter separated the main sections of the book. It seemed as though each section was its own little story each offering Jody a skill or lesson. John Steinbeck used a lot of foreshadowing, it was obvious that Gabilan was going to die as hints were given such as Jody walking past the dead patches of grass and the pig slaughter area. Much of the dialogue explained the relationship between the characters and Jody's curiosity.
The plot summary is very interesting, and I actually want to read this book. I would be interested to see what all happens when Jody realizes what happens to Gabilan. The theme for the story also makes me interested in this book.
The story "A Million Little Pieces," starts with James, the narrator, flying a plane to meet his parents and be admitted into a rehabilitation center. James has a hole in his cheek, four broken teeth, and his nose is broken. When the plane lands in Chicago, his family drives to Minnesota where they stay together for a night and the next morning James is admitted. James went through things that are similar to what addicts endure on a day to day basis. Things such as pain everywhere in his body and constant throwing up. Throughout his journey in rehab he meets two people that he learns can be good friends. Those two people being Lily and Leonard. Addicts usually do not having anything to believe in, so that is exactly what James believed in, nothing. With James loosing hope and getting ready to walk out on rehab, James offers advice, and it goes a long way. From this point on James really tries hard to figure out his responsibilities and what he has to do to get his life on track. The first thing that James needs to take care of are the criminal charges against his in Ohio. With everything that his friend Lily endures, such as prostitution and crack addiction, James has terrible dreams. After everything that James goes through, he figures out his life, and gets sober and eventually leaves the rehabilitation center. At the end the book talks about what happens to a couple of the people. Lily committed suicide shortly after leaving the center, Leonard died of AIDS, and James is still holding strong and sober.
James Frey is the major character throughout the story. He is a 23 year old man with troubles with alcohol and drugs. While going through a rehabilitation center he meets a few people along the way. One person that he meets is Leonard. Leonard is one of James' best friends throughout rehab, and he helps him get through tough times. Lily is also someone that is very special to James. Throughout the story Lily ends up being someone that James ends up caring deeply about makes her his girlfriend. The people that make up James' family are Lynne Frey(mother), Bob Sr.(dad), and Bob Jr.(brother). There are many other people that help James throughout the journey, and many other patients at the center that all play a role in James' journey to being sober.
The rehabilitation center is the main place where all the main points take place in the story. This is where a lot of people that are involved either worked their way to be sober or crashed and burned. Throughout the story there are many key concepts, and truthfully good life stories that happen at the center. This was a place where dreams came true and made peoples life ten time better.
The plot of your story sounds really good like something I would read about. I think you did a really good job on writing your plot summary.
Going through the story I would have to say that the main conflict would be James versus the abuse of alcohol and drugs. This is something that James has trouble with, but is really what the story line is centered around. Even though James went through many things to get his life straight, he did it. The other conflict that occurs starting in the middle of the book and continues to the end would be the struggle for James to figure out his responsibilities and get his life together. But like I said again he struggled, but persevered.
The theme of "A Million Little Pieces," would be that anything is possible if you try and that no matter how hard the struggle you can always persevere. With everything that James went through regarding alcohol and drugs abuse, he still in the end figured his life out and remained sober. The other thing that was a huge struggle but James persevered about would be his criminal charges in Ohio. Even though James went through a lot you can definitely tell he worked hard to turn his life around. Which shows to me that the theme would be that you can do anything that you try for.
The story is told in first person and is told by the narrator, 23 year old James Frey. While reading the story you can definitely tell that the story is about James and shows the personal connection with everything that he went through. The tone that he used made you want to keep reading, and his word choice explained everything and made you want to learn what happens next in his life. When reading the story you truly feel connected with James that really makes you want to keep reading. Each chapter was really different from the other chapters and made you feel like you were reading mini stories that in the end wrapped together to make one truthful, heartfelt, and well written story.
"Can't Get There from Here", by Todd Strasser is a story about eight teens ages 12 to 22 trying to survive on the streets. The main character is Jesse who they call Maybe.. They all are like family to each other, and struggle day by day. As time passes they meet a few people that try to help them, and a few not so friendly people.
The theme of this story is that anyone is able to turn their life around even if it's going to be difficult. During the story a little girl named tears who is 12 years old joins the group of teens. By the end Maybe knew that she couldn't help herself because it was to late, but she knew she could help someone else. At the end a nice man named Anthony helped Maybe get Tears back to her grandmother so she had a safe home in the end.
These homeless teens live on the streets of New York City. They struggle to find food and shelter but refuse to go to the homeless shelter because they don't want to follow the rules. During the story they tend to move around a lot. They find an abandon apartment that they stay in for awhile. Sometimes they stayed in clubs for food and to keep warm. Throughout the book there are many settings that stay at just to try to stay warm for the night.
The main character and narrator of the story is Jesse, but her street name is Maybe. She is described to have a usual skin condition where her skin is unevenly pigmented. She is living with her "family" of homeless kids in the street. She was kicked out of her home by an abusive mother. She has a sense of caring for others when she tries to get the young girl Tears back to her family. She may want her off the streets but as for herself she does not seem to trust adults. She does not want to give up her freedom to exchange for a good living arrangement. 2Moro is one of the clan also, she is a constant runaway. This girl was molested and abused that is why she ran away. Eventually she gets killed by unknown persons. Country Club and OG are two of the older guys that are in the tribe, in their early 20s. They were inseparable until Country Club dies of alcohol poisoning. At the end he dies of a lung condition. Maggot is one of the teens that are on the street by choice. He wants to be on the street because of rebellion, but soon returns to his family. Jewel was kicked out of his home because his family could not accept his sexuality. Rainbow was Maybe's best friend and her mother had sold her for drug money. She ended up committing suicide by drowning herself. Tears was a young and innocent child that was new to the tribe. Her mother did not believe her that her step father was sexually abusing her. By the end of the book Maybe helps tears find some relatives of tears and helps her get home safely. All these characters connect because they are all homeless and are fighting together to survive on the street and by the end the only one left is Maybe.
The conflict of this story is that so many kids are left on the street and are fighting for there lives. These kids have to live on city streets to care and feed themselves. Everyone is getting sick or dying and no one can help them because they will not let them. By the end the only one left is Maybe and she decides to give the librarian Anthony a chance to try and help her.
The narrator of the story is the main character named Maybe said in first person. She lives on the street so she is smart on the street not with people. Her style is a lot of imagery. The title of the story relates to the story because you cannot get anywhere just by living on the streets, it does not get you anywhere in life. You have to do something to be able to make money and a home.
I liked the story you picked to write about. From all the information you gave I could see the story begin to unfold and understand what is happening. I would like to read the book even from the information you gave.
I would like to read this book. I feel like we might be able to relate to the characters since they are our age. Even though none of us live on the streets, I still think it would be someone relateable to us. We probably have similar family, school, or friends problems, that drove them to live on the street.
Plot: Owen has always felt left out and out of place. He gets to a point in his life where he thinks giving up is the best and only answer. He starts thinking and trying to kill himself. Only till one day when he meet three other teens who have the same feeling and thoughts. He makes a pack with them that they will go on a suicide road trip to end their lives by the end of the road trip that will take them to famous people who also ended their lives. As they go on him and the rest of the teens realize they have a lot to live for and want a second chance in life as Owen falls in love with one of the other girls in the group. They end the trip with promising to get help and never give up on life or each other, not their lives.
Characterization: Owen and the other three on this suicide road trip are the main characters in this book. Owen, the main character has never been the same since his dad walked out on him and his mom once his younger brother died in a freak accident when they were both children. Owen also could never get over the emotional factor of being the one to see his younger brother pass. He meets Audrey on this trip, a punk princess with a shaved head and an attitude. She is the youngest to go on the trip and does not reveal her reasoning for wanting to die till close to the end of the trip where she admits that her parents are drug dealers who have been also selling her to male costumers for their own game. It later says explains her shaved head because of the sticks she had to get after trying to kill her self hitting her head with a frying pan. Owen and Audrey may have their differences but they end up falling for each other and becoming close before the end of the trip. As for the other two teens they could not be anymore different. Frank is the oldest and should be in college but this college drop out just cant surpasses his perfect scholar brother that he could never live up to in his dad's eyes. While Jin-Ae, was brought up in a traditional Chinese home where she begins to realize she is gay and can't face her parents in disapproval.
Setting: The four teenagers start out their trip in Eastern part of the United States and end their trip in Nevada. Most of the story keeps in the confidents of their car. They do stop in many different places of the way to see famous people's graves that have ended their lives. One grave they went to just for fun was that of Marylyn Monroe.
Conflict: Some of the conflicts that happen during their road trip are their personal and emotional differences. They all have so much emotional baggage that they need this trip to release it all and escape from it. It's easy to say that they all get under each others skin while trying to fit in and find them selves.
Theme: The main theme of this book is to find your self and be proud of it. In today's society this story is all to true and common. For some teenagers and others, it comes to late. Lucky for these teens they realize that life is worth living and there is always two sides of the story.
Point of view: This story is set in first person. Owen is the narrator and main character. He tells the story as he has lives it. The only time it comes into pass tense is when he is telling about his reasoning for wanting to die and his past experiences. As for the others and when they tell their stories he just repeats what they say.
Style: The author when writing this book left some factors out. He was a bit older when writing this book and he was writing about teenagers which you can tell some times with the kid of language he uses. He is also a little out dated with saying one of them like Nirvana. Even though it is a classic, he should of still tied in some newer flair. But other then that his wording and facts tied the story great together and made it easy and enjoyable to read.
In this story it says a story of what happen in 1940is around that time. The family lived in the ghetto and always tired to hide in the ghetto where the Nazis could not find them. They made the Jews get out of their homes so they can take them away. They did not know where they were going to be taken. And when the Nazis would take them they would not be seen again. Every day more and more people were gone from the ghetto, they used the Jews to work in the factories which were in camps as slaves, and they work with huge machines that they did not know how to use. Every Jew was shown how to work with the machines and they will have to learn fast. Some Jews were getting sick and they sometimes dye from of what they have, and others will be killed from the Nazis. There was a family and they lost their mother and dad so the older sister had to be a mother and father for her sister and brothers. They hid for a long time so the Nazis would not take them and separate them all, they wanted to stay all together. Then one day the police found out that they did not have parents so they had to go to court and they gave her a chance to adopt her own sister and brothers. They started to run out of food, so they decided that the only hope they had was to go to the camps and hope for the best. There were some friends that were close to them and they also decide to go. The older sister got really sick and they did not have a real doctor and she needed a real doctor. So they decided to take her out of the city where they can find a real doctor, every time they went to a doctors office they all said no because she was a Jew. Then last minute they found one that took her in, they did what they could have done. After that they did what they could have done she was sent back to the came to work again. She lost all her siblings she did not know where they were or even alive. Then a day came and the Nazis told every Jew to stop and they were all out of site and the Jews were looking for them and wondering where they went. Then some people were like we are finally free then some people were saying this might be a trap so do not move, they all waited for a while and they did not see them so they all decide to be free and each went their own way. Then the older sister started to look for her siblings then she went back to were they lived seen some people live there and act what happen to the things that were left behind and they threw them all away so she went to look for that stuff and nothing was found. Then she went to the grave to see her brother and prayed and cried. Then in the end she found her siblings that were left.
There was a mother with children, she was a worried mother of her children and always trying to protect them. There were Nazis which were curl and mean, they forced the Jews to work and sometimes even killed them. They always had rifles and uniforms. Nancy was the daughter, she was the oldest from all. All her children were happy, healthy, and strong at one point. Nancy was always worried and scared but always strong. They had lost of friend that they were all friendly and nice and always helped.
The time of the story was from 1939 through May 7th 1945. There was lots of death, people without moms, dads, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts and so much more. People were slaves in the camps and they were forced to work, some were sick or killed. People lived in the ghetto with hardly food or heat. They suffered and carried and got very sick.
The Nazis were getting people form the ghetto so they can be slaves for them and the people for the ghetto were always trying to hide. If they lied they were taken, if they stoled they were killed. They had to follow and listen to the rules of there freedom. They were forced to do thing.
I think that in this story it let us know how life was at that time and what happened. The message that I think is important in the story was "if hope is lost, all is lost," which that means never to give up on hope think for another tomorrow. I like how they said that even though they lived that hard life. And they also prayed and never gave up for a better future.
The style is that is start nice and good and then the suffrage starts and the cruelness gets worse and then it ends with an okay and happy ending. I like it, it was a very good story.
Summary: This story is a sequel to the book Stargirl also written by Jerry Spinelli. The main character Stargirl writes "the world's longest letter." She is new to the town of Phoenixville and still in love with her ex boyfriend Leo from the Stargirl book one. She befriends Dootsie a young child, and Betty Lou a middle age woman, who becomes a mother figure to Stargirl. She meets a boy Perry, and her feelings get torn between Perry and Leo. She throws a winter Solstice party and is surprised with many guests. Finally, she figures out her true feelings.
Characterization: Stargirl is the main character and is a people pleaser. She is a curious teen, just trying to grow up and live. She is mature and very in touch with her feelings. Dootsie is a five year old little girl that is befriended by Stargirl. She is outgoing and lives life carefree with no boundaries, just like the typical young child. Perry is the delinquent Stargirl develops feelings for, but when his mom gives birth to a baby, he really grows up and matures. He becomes very caring and helpful making Stargirl like him even more. Betty Lou is the friendly neighbor that is Stargirls go to person. She gave Stargirl advice throughout the whole story.
Setting: This story is set in a modern day 21st century neighborhood. The city is called Phoenixville, Pennsylvania. The kids go to school, the park, etc.
Conflict: I think there are two major conflicts throughout the story. One is plain and simple growing up. Everyone knows it's hard to grow up and mature but throughout the story you see many different cases throughout different characters not just Stargirl. Secondly, Stargirl finds out her true feelings, especially in following her heart with her feelings for boys.
Theme: The theme of the story is to be yourself and follow your heart. Stay true to yourself and remember yourself. You are important.
Point of View/Style: Love, Stargirl is written in first person, with Stargirl being the narrator and telling the story from her eyes. It is very poetic and has short random thought sentences. It has a lot of expression through feelings.

LL-143 – radziecka prototypowa łódź latająca oblatana pod koniec II wojny światowej.

Historia
W 1943 roku uwydatniły się dotkliwe braki morskich samolotów patrolowych. Częściowo lukę tę wypełniano produkując na licencji amerykański samolot Consolidated PBY Catalina, jednakże w dalszym ciągu brakowało maszyn rodzimej produkcji. Dlatego też sowieckie Siły Powietrzne złożyły zamówienie na wodnosamolot o określonych właściwościach: zasięg 5000 km, 20 godzin lotu bez przerw i udźwigu bomb do 4000 kg. Samolot odpowiadający zamówieniu opracowano w biurze konstrukcyjnym Georgija Beriewa; otrzymał oznaczenie LL-143. Uzbrojenie miało składać się z 6 karabinów maszynowych. Pierwszy lot odbył się we wrześniu 1945 roku. Próby w powietrzu wykazały niedostatki samolotu. Wybudowano tylko prototyp.

Goodbye Gazumping - masterclass for agents next month
A webinar in mid-January will help agents get an edge on securing leads and ensuring transactions are not lost.
That's the claim from digital upfront information platform Gazeal.
The platform says that while agents have had no difficulty winning instructions in the past 20 months or so, the situation in 2022 may be different.
Interest rates, which recently rose for the first time in three years, could rise again, while prices could stabilise after a year of record highs. This could lead to a situation where there are more agents in a given area than sellers looking to sell, making standing out from the crowd more important than ever.
"We see it as 2022 being the year where agents will fall into two very different camps" says Bryan Mansell, co-founder of Gazeal.
"There will be those who innovate, improve the customer experience, help people, solve what needs to be sold, and stop adding cost to their property marketing presentation.
"And there will be those who do nothing new, who expect to win the same listings as before, who stick to the status quo, and ultimately think they know what customers need without asking them."
Gazeal says it listed over 2,000 properties in 2021 and directly spoke with thousands of sellers to find out what they wanted, and is therefore in a strong position to pass this info onto agents.
Analysis of those 2,000 listings found that 70 per cent of buyers and sellers didn't know the legal process, and no fewer than 99 per cent did not know of the 'How to sell guide' that is recommended to be given to them by agents.
Gazeal's data also found that 95 per cent want to have a less risky way to move and most are typically anxious about the move they make.
Some 80 per cent have experienced some issues before when either trying to buy or sell and 70 per cent are aware of the 'Scottish system' – where rules make it harder for gazundering and gazumping, and people are tied-in at an earlier stage – as they like the idea of certainty that this provides.
Gazeal says its webinar on January 12 - further details of which will be revealed nearer the time - is one of the most important webinars agents will attend in 2022.
"The industry cannot continue to see £1 billion in commission each year lost, thanks to fall-throughs, when there is a better way" Mansell said.
"During the webinar, we will launch the battle plan for 2022 and your estate agency will never be the same again. We'll also outline how you can win the crucial battle for listings in 2022 and then some tips from agents to win more listings before the portals start charging you for it.
"On January 12 agents can sign-up as part of Gazeal's 'Goodbye Gazumping' initiative to help move Britain with certainty" Mansell concludes.

WestJet pilots vote in favour of new four-year contract
The Canadian Press December 21, 2014
CALGARY – Pilots at WestJet have accepted a new contract.
The airline says the deal includes improved pay and scheduling that it says places the airline's more than 12-hundred pilots among the highest paid in Canada's airline industry.
Statements from the airline and the WestJet Pilot Association issued on Sunday did not give any specifics of the contract.
The four-year deal, which was hammered out last month, will expire April 30, 2019.
WestJet flies to more than 120 destinations in more than 20 countries.


NEW YORK (AP) — Chris Heston pitched a no-hitter in his 13th major league start, coming within three hit batters of a perfect game and leading the San Francisco Giants over the New York Mets 5-0 Tuesday night.
The 27-year-old rookie right-hander allowed just three baserunners, hitting Ruben Tejada and Lucas Duda with pitches in the fourth inning during a span of three pitches and plunking Anthony Recker leading off the ninth.
The Mets' Anthony Recker, a Catasauqua High School grad, went 0-for-2 in the game.
Heston (6-4) struck out 11, walked none and allowed just two balls into the outfield, flyouts by Wilmer Flores in the second inning and Michael Cuddyer in the seventh.
After throwing called third strikes in the ninth by pinch-hitter Danny Muno, Curtis Granderson and Tejada, Heston walked calmly off the mound toward home plate and was hugged by catcher Buster Posey.

Student calls school board's policy of providing tuna fish sandwiches to those in lunch debt a 'badge of shame'
Hope Schreiber
Yahoo Lifestyle 30 August 2019
Parents and students are upset over a New Jersey school board proposal to give any student who has a lunch debt of over $10 only tuna fish sandwiches. (Photo by: Jeffrey Greenberg/Universal Images Group via Getty Images)
Students and parents of a New Jersey school district stood together on Tuesday night to voice their displeasure over a recent school board proposal that any student who has a lunch debt of over $10 receive only tuna fish sandwiches. The proposal also states that those owing more than $20 would receive no lunch at all.
Earlier this month, the assistant superintendent of Cherry Hill School District, the 11th-largest public school district in New Jersey, proposed a policy in which students in debt would receive tuna fish sandwiches, citing a $14,343 meal debt. The policy has been on the books since 2017, and is in line with the state's requirements, according to NBC Philadelphia, but has not been enforced.
Assistant superintendent Lynn Shugars, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer, claimed the district opted for tuna over peanut butter because "we know that our little ones would probably very happily eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches until the end of time."
According to NJ.com, students who have a debt over $10 will only receive a tuna sandwich, beverage and a side dish; students with over $20 in debt will have their meals cut entirely. The outlet adds that the school district has also increased its lunch prices.
For elementary and middle school students, lunch costs $3 a day, while high schoolers are charged $3.10.
"As we raise our school lunch prices, and one meal is $3, by, like, that second meal or day two, for a family that might not qualify [for reduced lunches] or is food-insecure, we've already got a problem," Laurie Neary, a school board member, told NJ.com.
Shugars says that the district is more than "happy to work with parents," and that every 10 days, a letter regarding a student's lunch debt is sent home, along with information about how to qualify for financial help and how to apply for reduced or free lunches.
"We want people to apply for free and reduced lunch because it's good for us, as it is good for them," Shugars said.
At a recently held school board meeting, however, both students and parents were passionate in voicing their displeasure over the proposal.
"The easily recognizable tuna fish sandwich will become a badge of shame," the student body president at Cherry Hill East High School, Oliver Adler, said. "What the board may fail to recognize is that school cafeterias are not always friendly places, and students will be stigmatized because of the food they carry,"
A freshman, Eva Friddell, went on to beg the board not to "take it out on the kids for what the parents have done."
One member of the community called the policy a "disaster" and a "public relations fiasco."
Representatives of Cherry Hill School District did not immediately respond to Yahoo Lifestyle's requests for comment. However, according to NBC Philadelphia, the board has not withheld lunches from students, and it will revise the policy and call for a vote on it in September.

Q: Simple interpreter using Haskell I am still learning Haskell and the question seems very basic but it's been stomping me for a while.
Given the following
data Term =
    Number Integer
  | Abs Term
  | Plus Term Term
  | Mult Term Term
  deriving (Eq, Show)

I want to create an interpreter such that if I call, for example,
evaluate (Plus (Number 10) (Number 10))

it will return 20. Below is what I have so far
myabsolute :: Integer -> Integer
myabsolute n = if n >= 0 then n else -n

evaluate :: Term -> Integer
evaluate Plus = evaluate(t1) + evaluate(t2)
evaluate Mult = evaluate(t1) * evaluate(t2)
evaluate Abs = myabs(evaluate(t1))
evaluate _ = 0

I am confused how to get the Number Integer part working since I do not know how to extract the numbers and map them to t1 and t2 in Plus, Mult, and Abs.
Since I am still learning, if I am doing something completely wrong please let me know!

A: Here's how the Plus case would work:
evaluate :: Term -> Integer
evaluate (Plus t1 t2) = evaluate t1 + evaluate t2
...

The Plus constructor has two terms, so we need two names in the pattern (t1 and t2). In this case both t1 and t2 will be values of type Term which is why the expressions evaluate t1 and evaluate t2 make sense.
The Number constructor, however, only has one parameter, e.g. Number 3, so its case will look like:
evaluate (Number x) = ...use x here...

Here the variable x will have type Integer.

Let us know where you are from. We're glad that you found us!
Can you please give the names of the diocesan bishops of the tri-state council of Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi?; the 9th Episcopal district. thank you.
This seems to be a great sight. But I wish there was something to be said about Elder G.D. Streeval out of Noblesville ind. He is truly a modern day Moses. I don't know about the rest of Christendom but here in Noblesville we are feasting on the best that god has for mankind. Thank you Jesus for my pastor!!!!
I would appreciate it very much if someone could answer following 2 questions: I received the holy ghost baptism by speaking in tongues and was baptized in the name of Jesus when I was 21 years old in a Pentecostal church although I never really understood the Oneness of God doctrine and the importance of the baptism in Jesus name as I do now after reading many articles and hearing some online preachings from Evangelist Lee Stoneking. Unfortunately, at 23 years old I backslid and lived a life of sin for 18 years. However, the conviction and the necessity to restore my relationship with Jesus came back about 2 years ago. I started attending a Trinitarian/charasmatic church and although I would see many in the congregation "filled" with the spirit and speaking with tongues I did not feel the same presence of God as I had felt in that Pentecostal church from 18 years ago. Therefore, I decided to find a Pentecostal church in my area and go back to what I felt was the "TRUE DOCTRINE" My questions are: 1) Do I need to get baptized again in Jesus name for the forgiveness of my sins since I sinned all of those years after my baptism? 2)Did I loose the gift of the holy spirit speaking in tongues or is it possible to receive the baptism again after repentance?
I am enthralled reading about these warriors of the gospel who were interested in preaching the unadulterated words of the Lord with boldness compromise, courage, strength, fearlessness, and devotion. They gave it as "Thus saith the Lord"no editing. No wonder the scriptures states in Hebrews 11:38 "Of whom the world was not worthy". Thank God for these examples, and let us follow in their steps.
The Late Bishop. Haywood, will always be remember by me in the apostolic ministry, truly he was a roll model to anyone who come to know the Lord.

Automated Underwriting Gives PayFacs, PSPs Competitive Leg Up
Anyone who remembers the cover art from the film "The Perfect Storm" recalls a vast wave looming over a small fishing boat. That's the image that Agreement Express' CEO David O'Brien conjured in a recent conversation with PYMNTS on how payment firms must ride out the squalls of competition.
"I very much look at things that way in the payments industry today," O'Brien said. "You've got the changing client experience. What I wanted [as a consumer] three years ago versus today is vastly different. The industry needs to keep up with that. And look at the changes the pandemic has delivered. You never would have thought there'd be grandmothers on Zoom. People think technology change is linear, and it is not. It's actually exponential."
That exponential change is challenging to many who are trying to grow their portfolios and increase their processing volume, while also attempting to manage risk levels. Trying to juggle an increasing portfolio in uncertain market conditions endangers ROI, while competitors with strong partners are not only able to ride the worst waves, but can also harness that momentum to gain a competitive advantage.
When asked about the secret to remaining competitive in a payments services marketplace rife with rivals, O'Brien said: "History has spoken. Companies that have done really well have focused on the front-end, and they've been able to create a seamless onboarding experience. This enables merchants to start processing payments quicker than ever before."
He noted that the firm has seen a trend where companies that have solved the puzzle of scaling merchant acquisition and underwriting tend to either get acquired or become a successful acquirer, tapping into higher valuations for acquisitions.
"If you look at the disruptors and their growth, if there's one thing they've done right, it's the focus on consumer experience. That's going to be the laser focus [for the strongest competitors] as we roll forward," he predicted.
Clearing Bottlenecks Like An Amazon, But Faster
Addressing the growth plateau still commonly faced by PayFacs and PSPs, O'Brien said, "A lot of that has to do with what has changed in the world [with] consumers. You look at Amazon and [it's] fast and easy, to the point of [being] absolutely ridiculous."
However, in the age of one-click commerce, even the proven traditional Amazon buying experience might not be enough anymore, he said — and that should have PayFacs on alert. "You look at how easy and great it was, and even that wasn't good enough. So they introduced the one-click buy feature. There's a reason for that: We want it faster, tighter and better. The same thing goes on in the payments industry — it's what merchants are expecting."
Companies like Stripe are so successful because they ask for the absolute minimum upfront and get a merchant set up within minutes. There are now many payment providers that deliver a lot of value to their merchants, but they're struggling because they can't get this one piece right. Any so-called solution that takes days instead of hours for a merchant to be onboarded draws an instant negative inference – and that's a hard truth in the remote onboarding space, which is getting crowded and competitive as payments go horizontal.
According to O'Brien, entrepreneurs and business owners want a "fast, seamless experience. It can't be bottlenecked by a bunch of bad workflows, human intervention or things like that. It absolutely must be seamless."
Study The Competition — With Urgency
When going up against the giants of payments disruption — Square, for example — it pays to study why they created a simple digital payments solution that effectively galvanized SMBs into a base to compete with the Amazons and Walmarts of the world on a more level tech playing field.
"If you're not studying what folks like Square are doing … you absolutely have to. You've got to embed it into your [own] strategy … by looking at [their] success and what they've accomplished," O'Brien said, summing up Square's triumph as follows: "The biggest difference [is that] they [believe] the payment should just be a communication. Again, [it should be] completely seamless and easy, so that when you go to a merchant to sign up, you're not talking about days, you're literally talking about hours."
As PSPs and PayFacs seek out merchant clients in new markets, they're under new margin pressures and competitive threats, which means investments in key operational areas can lead to dividends down the line. That's where automated underwriting can have a dramatic impact.
Noting the accelerated pace of technological change in the waning days of the pandemic, O'Brien said, "You've got ROI needed. You've got pressure on payment fees. So, a lot less money for [PayFacs] to invest into change. Therefore, you need to have improved underwriting. You need to have the tools to be better … and you've got to do it faster."
"Overlaying all of this is urgency, the market is moving quickly," O'Brien told PYMNTS. "You have a sense of urgency today, or a sense of regret tomorrow. It's a very fascinating time to be in this industry."

I was running low on business cards, so I ordered some new ones a couple weeks ago. I decided to try my hand at a little bit of graphic design and make the cards myself in Photoshop Elements. I've ordered from Moo.com in the past and have been very pleased with the quality, so I decided to order from them again. They have a handy photoshop template that you can download to help with the process of designing your own business cards. They also have lots of pre-designed templates to choose from.
The colorful design is to give out as an accompanist or when attending conferences with other teachers. The second design is for my piano studio, to give to students/parents.
The QR codes on the back of the cards lead to my websites. I generated them for free via this website.
Thank you to all those who entered the PractizPal giveaway last week and shared an idea for motivating students to practice! You can check out all the responses here.
Orlia! Please watch your inbox for an email from me.
Over the last few weeks, I've shared a couple of video tutorials about how to create rhythm worksheets using two rhythm music fonts and how to create other types of music worksheets using two other music fonts for putting notes on the staff.
If you watched either video, you probably saw how wonderfully easy it is to use the rhythm fonts. You probably also saw, in the second video, that the non-rhythm fonts are more challenging to use and rather limiting in what they can do.
To make the worksheet-making-process a little bit easier, I recently decided to create photo files (in this case, png files) of various music symbols. Clicking and dragging photo files into a worksheet is much easier than inserting a text box, calling up the font you need, and then locating the music symbol from with the font's character map. Hooray!
I'm sharing this set of png files for FREE, and I've also made another video tutorial about how to get started using them.
To get started, you'll need to download and unarchive the zip file containing the individual png files on the Printables > Worksheets page. Then, be sure to save the folder of png files to a safe place on your computer so you can use them for years to come. Then, using Microsoft Publisher (or a similar program), you are ready to start creating!
I hope this video helps you get started, but please do let me know if you have other questions. I can't wait to see what worksheets and other creations you will be able to create using those png files!
Copyright Information: These images are released under a Creative Commons copyright, allowing users to create and sell their own projects that make use of these images. However, the image files themselves should not be freely distributed or sold to others. Instead, please direct others to download the files directly from ColorInMyPiano.com. Thanks!

Q: Appending NSDictionary to [NSDictionary] gives unexpected results I've got some [NSDictionary] filled with books that I'm checking values for to better display the content in a UICollectionView.
I'm doing a check on a key if it contains several ISBN numbers. If it do I'll want to display them as separate books. The key is 'isbn' and if the value are something like '["9788252586336", " 9788203360510"]' I'll want to display them as separate books. So they'll become two "equal" books, but with different isbn numbers.
Here's what happens:

*

*Heres the code
func parserFinishedSuccesfully(data: NSMutableArray){
self.tempArray = []
if !data.isEqual(nil) && data.count > 0
{
        for i in (0 ..< data.count)
        {
            var currentBook = NSDictionary()

            if !((data[i] as? NSDictionary)!.valueForKey("isbn") as? String)!.isEmpty
            {
                //If the book do have isbn then I'll want to display it
                currentBook = data[i] as! NSDictionary

                if let isbn = currentBook.valueForKey("isbn") as? String
                { //isbn could be "9788252586336; 9788203360510"

                    let isbnNumbersRecieved = isbnNumbers(isbn)
                     //gives: ["9788252586336", " 9788203360510"]

                    if isbnNumbersRecieved.count >= 2
                    {
                        //We are dealing with several isbn numbers on one book
                        for isbn in isbnNumbersRecieved
                        { //The problem lies here!
                            print("This is the isbn: \(isbn)")
                            currentBook.setValue(isbn, forKey: "isbn")
                            self.tempArray.append(currentBook)
                        }

                    }
                    else
                    {
                        //Only one isbn
                         //currentBook.setValue(isbnNumbersRecieved.first, forKey: "isbn")
                        //self.tempArray.append(currentBook)
                    }
                }else{
                    //No isbn, no want
                    print("No isbn")
                }
            }

        }
    print(self.tempArray)
    self.collectionView.reloadData()

}

In code it says: "problem lies here". Well...the problem is there.
When it enters that loop with this array ["9788252586336", " 9788203360510"] it will first print the first number, then the second as it should.
Then when it takes currentBook. I change the value that is there before which would be "9788252586336; 9788203360510" with just the first isbn number "9788252586336". And then I take the entire currentBook and append it to the array (tempArray) that will be used to display the books in a UICollectionView later.
When the second iteration starts the isbn number will be "9788203360510" and I'll set the isbn number to be that in currentBook, just like the first iteration.
The weird thing happens now. When currentBook get's appended to (tempArray) it should contain the same book, but with different isbn numbers. But it actually contains the same fu@%$ book with same isbn number.
Somehow the second iteration adds 2 books with the same isbn number and the first book that should be there is gone...
Picture 1 is after the first iteration and picture 2 is after the second iteration. If you look at the key "isbn", you can see that there is something messed up with the code...
Picture 1

Picture 2

How can this happen and how would I fix it?

A: This is happening because currentBook is a reference type, not a value type. You are adding two references to the same book, currentBook, to the array.
As a simple fix, you could copy() the dictionary before modifying it and adding it to the array. A more robust fix would be to make all of your models value types instead.

Further reading:

*Swift Blog: Value and Reference Types

*Ray Wenderlich: Reference vs. Value Types in Swift

A: You are using the same dictionary object for each item in your for loop and hence this result. Try below and let me know if it works.
//We are dealing with several isbn numbers on one book
 for isbn in isbnNumbersRecieved
 { //The problem lies here!
   print("This is the isbn: \(isbn)")

   let tempDict = NSDictionary()
   tempDict.setValue(isbn, forKey: "isbn")

   //currentBook.setValue(isbn, forKey: "isbn")
   self.tempArray.append(tempDict)

'The Freshman' Announced for Blu-ray
Posted Mon Dec 23, 2013 at 06:00 AM PST by Tom Landy
The 1925 silent comedy classic is bound for Blu-ray in March.
In an early announcement to retailers, Criterion has revealed 'The Freshman' will head to Blu-ray on March 25.
Harold Lloyd's biggest box-office hit was this silent comedy gem, featuring the befuddled everyman at his eager best as a new college student. Though he dreams of being a big man on campus, the freshman's careful plans inevitably go hilariously awry, be it on the football field or at the Fall Frolic. But he gets a climactic chance to prove his mettle—and impress the sweet girl he loves—in one of the most famous sports sequences ever filmed. This crowd-pleaser is a gleeful showcase for Lloyd's slapstick brilliance and incandescent charm, and it's accompanied here by a new orchestral score by Carl Davis.
The Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack will feature a New 4K digital transfer from a restoration by the UCLA Film and Television Archive, an uncompressed stereo soundtrack, and supplements include: Audio commentary featuring director and Harold Lloyd archivist Richard Correll, film historian Richard Bann, and film critic and historian Leonard Maltin; Lloyd's prologue to the film, created for the 1966 rerelease; Three newly restored Lloyd shorts: The Marathon (1919), with a new score by Gabriel Thibaudeau, and An Eastern Westerner and High and Dizzy (both 1920), with new scores composed and conducted by Davis; Big Man on Campus, a new visual essay on the film's locations by silent-film historian John Bengtson; Conversation between Correll and film historian Kevin Brownlow; Footage from a 1963 Delta Kappa Alpha tribute to Lloyd, featuring comedian Steve Allen, director Delmer Daves, and actor Jack Lemmon; Lloyd's 1953 appearance on the television show What's My Line; and a booklet featuring an essay by critic Stephen Winer.
Suggested list price for the Blu-ray is $39.95.
You can find the latest specs for 'The Freshman' linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where it's indexed under March 25.

A few weeks ago we held a nice little workshop at Flyn's Tractor Design School on the 'Digital Future of Oxford Street', fusing a an intro to UX and wire framing with a bit of digital creativity in the realm of urban planning. With a mixed audience of partly junior design professionals and some novices we enjoyed our 2 hours of 'digitally augmenting' the experience of being on Oxford Street. Here's the recording of our live video stream, where you can see Flyn, Gabriel and myself.
Art & About Sydney is a collaborative arts festival where every street, lane way, building site, intersection and thoroughfare is a canvas for creation and storytelling. And we at Reactive are gladly contributing with a free beginner's workshop on digital design of urban spaces, in particular the Digital Future of Oxford Street. Our educational partner Tractor Design School is hosting our workshop where we explore a new digital perspective on one of the main arteries of Sydney: Oxford Street.
Here is an interview I conducted with Dan Hill, now CEO of Fabrica, on How data is changing our streets and cities – listen to the audio here.
No prerequisites or experience in digital design or software is required. It is an entry level workshop which is supposed to show residents and visitors what sort of professionals work in and around the area of Surry Hills and Darlinghurst. So if you are in Sydney and are curious about learning something new, we are looking forward to seeing you.
Get your free tickets here on Eventbrite.
We Australians are quicker than the rest of the world.
We Oldies don't run faster but at least farther than the young (on average, not me necessarily).
And interesting that Android users of the Runkeeper app are quicker than iPhone users. Is it that extra geek power? Or are iPhone users just getting old? I suspect the latter.
Whenever you bump into an old colleague (now working at a competitor agency), you might go: 'Hey, what a small world!'.
That's what we think as well and were therefore inspired to create these 20 small agency planets.
A big help was Ryan Alexander's web app 'Street View Stereographic'. It creates a "little planet" using photos from any Google Street View. Simply type in the geographic location in the search bar. As we did in the below for our own 'little' agency Publicis Mojo.
So you think you know the agency scene in Sydney? Not like this you don't. Try to recognise as many of these 20 creative agencies' neighbourhoods and buildings. Write them with their # into the comments section and be recognised as a real connoisseur of our small agency world.
Our newbie Lauren has fallen in love with unicycling. At the same time most people have no idea how fast unicycling really is. So we decided to host a special facebook competition: Tour de Lunch.
Lauren on her unicycle "Tour de Lunch"
You guess how long it takes Lauren next Friday to unicycle to our favourite eatery in Surry Hills, "City Edge". Check her route on Google Maps. Whoever gets closest to the actual time in minutes and seconds wins a lunch for two at said place. Go ahead and place your guess in the comment section of our facebook post. In the meantime Lauren will practice her fully sick urban unicycling skills. There are no T&C's but expect an entertaining video of our "Tour de Lunch" next week.
I just caught up with co-tenant and mate Darryl Nichols who heads Garage Sale Trail, an event that collectively organises suburb-wide garage sales with the help of online tools like dynamic maps, heavy-hitting blogs and publishers of course facebook. As you can see from the links and the video below, the first Garage Sale Trail was part of Bondi's Community Festival Sizzle, and a pretty fun activity as such. Who would have thought, re-cycling and re-using could be such a frolicking kind of event – wait till the end of this video for an extra-gold piano performance (video by Republic of Everyone).
Sizzle was a massive collaboration of agencies such as Holler and creative local inviduals. And happened to be a massive success, with many registrations coming in at the last minute. A couple of weeks later the council where I live organized a similar event which semi-failed: calling a council telephone number to have your name put down on a list that closed 3 weeks in advance of the event just wasn't working for too many residents.
So now Darryl is talking to councils, sustainability organisations and influential people across Australia to make this modern garage sale a national event. Rachael Botsman from Collaborative Consumption who recently gave a TEDx Talk in Sydney is already on the steering committee.
Get in touch on the Sale Trail site and talk to Darryl if you are able and willing to lend a hand.
